Audio Bitrate

Note

πŸ“š Key Takeaways:

πŸ“Œ What is audio bitrate? Audio bitrate refers to the amount of data processed over a given period, typically measured by kilobits per second (kbps) or bits per second (bps).

πŸ“Œ How does audio bitrate affect audio quality? A higher bitrate generally means better audio quality, which also results in larger file sizes. But the bitrate’s impact on sound quality also varies depending on the compression type: lossless or lossy.

πŸ“Œ What audio bitrate should you choose? When thinking about what audio bitrate you should choose, consider factors including audio quality, file format, platform or device compatibility, and file size. Different use cases require different audio bitrates. For example, a bitrate of 192kbps is a decent choice for podcast and audiobook recording.

πŸ“Œ How to check and edit audio bitrate? You can find a number of audio bitrate converters available in the market that you can use to check and edit the bitrate of your audio or audio files.

β–ͺ Podcast platforms: 64kbps ~ 192kbps
320 kbps or higher bitrate is recommended for high-quality sound like music. 128kbps and 192kbps are great bitrate choices for speech content.

Audio format with high bitrate support

FLAC, WAV, ALAC, AIFF, and DSD are lossless formats that support high bitrates up to 1,411 kbps or more.

Factors affecting audio bitrate

sample rate, bit depth, dynamic range and audio format
